Pathetic topic. I know. But still, I decided to include the Covid-19 to the topic. Just because I wanted to share that I'm donating some of my electricity (aka. computing powers) to the greater cause. Folding@Home project has some Covid-19 related projects where you can share your compute resources to fight Covid-19. Drug and virus related researches are today really compute intensive, and thus also funding intensive. Having access to those high performance crunching machines requires quite much funding, because it's not cheap. In the last twenty or so years there have been projects where this number crunching has been divided and distributed to smaller computers around the globe. Seti@Home has been probably the most known one, but they have shutdown the project a couple of weeks ago. In the late 90s or start of this century there also was some crypto related project where they tried to bruteforce open various encryption algorithms. I recall to participate in that for so...
